Does this means he cleared waivers?

 

[GOfins54]

Ahahaha complete the fleecing!

 

[Duriel]

Does this mean we get the 7th round pick?

Sign him for near veteran minimum, the guy played 14 games last year and would be higher than average backup at Tackle and a potential starter a LG with the Larsen injury (he played guard in college).

He retired for a reason. Not just because it's the Jags.

I don't know man, he was raring to go for another Dolphins season until traded. Curious to see how things play out.

We're how many days into TC?

No offense, but I've never understood the obsession with former Phins players. There's always a call to bring them back, regardless of ability, health, etc. The line needs a youth movement, not a broken old vet who has managed to play ONE complete season his entire career.

Hmmm generally id agree. But things are looking a bit grim at our LG slot. Its at least worth considering

If he still wants to play, this is a no-brainer. Get BA in here.

I don't believe so, I read somewhere that he needed to be on the team for three games for us to get the pick.

Dolphins don't have money for him, a LB, and Pouncey's backup.

 

[Phinsguy]

The word on Asiata is that he can't line up 4 plays in a row without panting for air. His conditioning is just not where it needs to be at this point. He'll get used to the humidity and the speed of the game.

Maybe they can only let him play in cold weather games....lol

 

[Danny]

Unless he'd agree to play for the vet minimun then pass. Our cap can't take another big hit. He doesn't really want to play. He only went back for the money. I think he's done

Ozzy rules!!

 

[J. David Wannyheimer]

I suspect that he was already asked to play LG and declined, which is why he was traded to begin with.

Correct- no pick to MIA
